Transfer Applicants

A decision you won't ever second guess

Any applicant who has enrolled in courses at another college or university after the completion of high school must apply as a transfer student. Admission for transfer applicants is selective. The admission evaluation for transfer students is primarily an academic review. A minimum cumulative grade point average of 2.70 in previous college work is required.

Campus Life

Housing for Transfer Students

A place to call home that feels like one, our residence halls are so much more than a place to hang your backpack. With a variety of apartment-style housing options to choose from, students have access to a full kitchen, comfortable common spaces for studying and spending time with friends, spacious bedrooms, and semi-private bathrooms. To learn more about campus housing, visit www.loyola.edu/transfer-housing. For information about off-campus housing, visit www.loyola.edu/off-campus-housing.

Additional Resources

Information for Veterans

The Yellow Ribbon Program is a provision of the Post-9/11 Veterans Educational Assistance Act of 2008 (GI Bill) that provides payment for tuition, fees, a book and supplies stipend, and a housing allowance for veterans who have served on active duty since Sept. 11, 2001. Through our partnership with the Yellow Ribbon Program, Loyola covers a portion of a student's remaining tuition and fees. To learn more about military benefits at Loyola, visit www.loyola.edu/veterans.

After You Apply

Transfer Credit Evaluation

An evaluation of transfer credit is completed for each applicant as part of the review process. A detailed course-by course credit evaluation will be included with your offer of admission. A maximum of 20 courses or ~60 credit hours may be applied to the 40 course (120 credit hour) minimum required for graduation. Evaluations are coordinated by the Academic Advising and Support Center and Loyola faculty. For more information, visit www.loyola.edu/transfer-advising.
